Seeing Geng's appearance, Lanqin knew that Geng was a little too angry and had lost her usual composure.

The task at hand is not to punish Qiu Yun, but to use her to dispel Hong Zhou's doubts. Qiu Yun cannot die now; she still has value. Otherwise, Lan Qin truly doesn't know what other way, besides Qiu Yun, could dispel Hong Zhou's doubts in a short time.

Lanqin doesn't have much time to dwell on this matter now, because she had already discussed with the Fourth Prince that she would leave the palace after Hongli ascended the throne. Therefore, Lanqin needs to resolve this thorn in her side as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Lanqin quickly stepped forward to stop Geng Shi. She grabbed Geng Shi's hand that was about to fall on Qiu Yun's face and said, "Sister Geng, calm down. Even if you kill her now, it won't dispel Hong Zhou's doubts."

Upon hearing Lanqin's words, Madam Geng's face froze. She glared fiercely at Qiuyun and angrily cursed, "You wretched servant, you deserve to die."

Despite collapsing to the ground, Qiu Yun stiffened her neck and snorted disdainfully, saying, "If the Prince knew that your mother was a fake, I'm afraid he would never forgive you two for the rest of his life."

After saying that, he burst into laughter, acting like a madman.

Upon hearing Qiu Yun's curses, the anger that had been suppressed in Geng Shi's heart instantly surged up, but she couldn't lash out because Lan Qin was still holding her hand. Geng Shi said to Lan Qin, puzzled, "Why not just kill this bitch? Why keep her alive?"

Lanqin, who was standing to the side, released her grip on Gengshi's hand, glanced at Qiuyun who was slumped on the ground, and said, "Sister, don't fall for her tricks."

To outsiders, Qiu Yun's appearance seemed like madness, but how could someone as clever as Lan Qin not see the fleeting clarity in Qiu Yun's mad eyes?

Knowing her secret had been exposed, Qiu Yun was now reckless, using the opportunity to anger Geng Shi so that Geng Shi would kill her. Hong Zhou had already become suspicious of Qiu Yun, and if she disappeared without a trace, it would surely arouse his suspicion, and if he investigated thoroughly, he would eventually find the clues in Geng Shi.

It must be said that Qiu Yun is quite clever, but she encountered Lan Qin...

Lanqin glanced at Qiuyun and slowly said to Gengshi, "Killing her will only arouse Hongzhou's suspicion. Sister has already taken her in as her goddaughter, why would you suddenly kill her?"

Upon hearing Lanqin's words, Geng Shi had already weighed the options in her mind, but she was at a loss.

Seeing that Madam Geng had calmed down, Lanqin said to Qiuyun indifferently, "I want you to admit to Hongzhou in person that you wrote those letters to sow discord between him and Hongli. That's pure nonsense."

Upon hearing Lanqin's words, Qiuyun slowly raised her head, glared at Lanqin, and sneered, "You're dreaming. I will never do as you say."

However, Lanqin was not annoyed by Qiuyun's sneer. She had long expected that Qiuyun would not be so easily subdued. If Qiuyun were so easy to win over, Lanqin would not have needed to go through all this trouble.

Although Qiu Yun is a very good hidden piece, at this point, Qiu Yun is nothing more than a dying struggle for Lan Qin, and all of this is in vain.

Lanqin slowly bent down, reached out and pinched Qiuyun's chin, and sneered, "If you don't want your mother to suffer because of you, then don't do it."
